Opening is the flicking acoustic guitar and big stomping, “Look In Her Eyes,” a song about men and women looking and working one another over. “Hole In My Heart” an even faster rocker, complete with horns, is about Rod losing his love to “Some Russian guy” while “Farewell,” the song that follows, and “Didn’t I,” are ballads about regret of different types. “Farewell,” about Rod’s running buddy Ewan Dawson and “Didn’t I,” a mid-tempo heart-wrenching tune about his daughter’s drug addiction.

Before hitting it huge with their 1973, The Dark Side Of The Moon album, ‘The Floyd’ was undergoing a great crisis of songwriting and identity trying to extricate itself from the influence of Pink Floyd’s leader, Syd Barrett. As infamous these days for his bout with madness and then reclusiveness post his Floyd years, a cult has grown up around Barrett, with many people divided, as Kopp makes clear, over what version of the band they like best, pre or post Barrett.

With an onstage persona mix of Alice Cooper meets Ma Barker, a video directed by none-other-than Trump’s favorite part-time gf Stormy Daniels, making music that barnstorms past trad. country fiddle-led ditties into full-on metal, one simply can’t take their eyes off of, nor their ears away from, Granny 4 Barrel.

Lastly, although prostitution is legal in Amsterdam, the city’s famous “Red Light District” might just be moved…if the city’s first female mayor has any say in it. In an interview with Bloomberg Mayor Femke Halsema bemoaned how Amsterdam’s prostitutes are often besieged by drunken tourists, as the current 370 windows of 86 brothels exist right up alongside the rowdy clubs and late-night bars of the area (something that amazed me as well when I visit thge city for the first time a few years ago).
Halsema would like to take the brothels outside of the district, in, what she says, is “an effort to ease congestion and revive the historic central zones.”
